Please join state Rep. Babette Josephs on Friday at noon, for the unveiling of legislation that would require a 1,500 foot buffer zone between area neighborhoods and new casino development in the city.

Josephs will hold a news conference and rally in support of her bill:

Fridary, June 8, 12pm
Dillworth Plaza, on the west side of City Hall
15th and Market

Our friends at Casino-Free Philadelphia are calling on all supporters to gather at City Hall on June 13th to demand that City Council vote against zoning bills legalizing the construction of SugarHouse Casino within two hundred feet of a residential community.

At the same City Council Rules Committee hearing, we will ask them to send the 1,500-foot buffer zone -- supported by the majority of Philadelphians -- to Council for passage. In our Philly's Ballot Box election, 95% of the voters expressed their support for this buffer.
